Default Hail Damage

There has been some success using compressed air and a hair dryer. Turn the compressed air can upside down and spray the dent. Turning it upside down condenses the compressed air and sprays on cold moist air. Have a hair dryer running as hot as possible. Wipe the cold moist air off with a clean dry towel and hit it with the heat. In some cases the contraction/expansion of the metal will pop the dent, especially if it is smooth.

Depending on how hot it gets where you are a lot of hail dents simply pop out on their on.

Finally, ask around car dealerships for the best hail repair person they use. I saw a guy here in Shreveport completely clean up a black Tundra that was pummelled with large hail at the Dallas airport. You couldn't find any semblance of a dent when he was done.
